Date:Monday 7th August 2017 at 8:00pmTicket Price:£12ANDY CLEYNDERT bring his stella quartet to Bexley for the first time.
The quartet eschews the use of drums in favour of the highly adaptive trio of piano/bass/guitar which, in this company, is no less driving whilst providing many musical permutations as each member of the group moves between soloist and accompanist. Arrangements for the group are drawn from the compositions of the jazz greats such as Billy Strayhorn, Dizzy, Herbie Hancock, Ray Brown et al, oft-neglected tunes from the standard songbook composers, and some choice songs from the pen of Tom Jobim.
With Andy will be MARTIN SHAW/Trumpet - MARK EDWARDS/Keys - JIM MULLEN- Guitar
